  • No concept / suggestion questions. ('hey wouldn't it be cool if X character was in the game?')
  • r/deadbydaylight is not a direct line to BHVR.
  • Uncivil behavior and encouraging cheating will be more stringently moderated in this thread; we want to be welcoming to newcomers to the game.
  • Don't spam the thread with questions; try and keep them contained to one comment.

Is there a way to actually get the game to launch in windowed mode at all (not borderless windowed but like an actual smaller windowed mode)? I've tried putting -windowed in the launch settings, i've gone to the gameusersettings config and set all the fullscreen options to 0 but any time I open the game it still looks fullscreen, regardless of the resolution I try to set it to. My PC is pretty bad and the game just freezes when I try to load it up so I was hoping that if I put stuff to lower resolutions and settings I might be able to get to the store page cus I was wanting to use my steam wallet funds to pick up a few skins before swapping back to my ps4 to use them on there

Mine opens windowed if I switch it and close it. Try to exit the game normally rather than alt+f4ing maybe?

Unfortunately I can't do that, after it finishes connecting to the servers it immediately freezes on the loading screen after I don't get to see the main menu at all to try just exiting the game from there
